Errors and Remedies – Practice

Immediate Practice

10 minutes – Practice approaching and gaining on the inside and outside with your partner identifying common errors. (Best practiced with masks)

• Look for:
  • Uncrossing – Your partner can attempt to push their point through your sword. Make sure to keep your point on target.
  • Attacking into the forte – Your partner can push your sword away with their forte if you let your debole cross into it. Make sure to keep the leverage connection throughout your attack.
• Practice with masks so your partner can attempt to strike you through your sword after you have gained them.
• When testing your partner, do not try to reach around their sword (this would lead to you being struck as well). Your goal is to see if you can strike them in a direct line as they attack.
